This is not a Python error and it doesn't actually belong here. > So far I could not get any useful advice on the french ubuntu users > forum, it is the reason why, though I am in no way a python-guy, > I turned to this list. Fire up an IRC client, connect to freenode and join the channel #ubuntu, #debian or #debian-fr, there you should be able to find people who can help you. Otherwise, it seems that the package is in a half-installed state and that it fails to configure. What you can do is remove the content of the failing post-installation script and then retry configuring it. Obviously it might cause the package itself to break, but it shouldn't affect the whole package management system.
